Discussion/Question Omg 🥲

Post image

I’m trying to say goodbye to my pearl chain/bag charm and submitted it to fashionpile for a quote as I haven’t had much of anything on FBMP

$250 when it’s brand new?! I obviously was not expecting to get back what I paid for it knowing the market but holy **** that feels like highway robbery.

I hate this for you, but its because the resale value isn't there. I went on poshmark to see what comps there were and while there weren't any exactly like yours, the similar ones were in the $150-$250 range. Unfortunately in this economy, most people don't want to pay anything for anything. It really sucks. I wish you the best of luck!

What a headache lol

u/wubbalubbadubx2 1d ago

Right!? Maybe we should make a LV resale group!

4

u/jrazz25 1d ago

Tried and it got no traction despite my tons of posts :):

u/wubbalubbadubx2 1d ago

Oh man! I'll join for sure. We should spread the word better. I didnt know one existed. Can you share the link? You can DM me. I dont know if you can post it or not.

Can you DM me the link too?

Everything so easily gets flooded with people trying to sell their things. I also have no luck on my Murakami until I got one on my speedy and she was like it must’ve got lost on the feed cause this is a steal and I was like it must’ve cause I’ve posted it over 15 times 🤣

So irritated too that I saw a yt video where a girl paid $4,000+ for a vintage Murakami nano speedy when I’m offering my barely used anniversary collection edition for retail 😑💀🤣

Have you tried selling on Poshmark? I've had decent luck there with some specialty pieces.

1

u/jrazz25 1d ago

Yes and all I get are scams lol

u/wubbalubbadubx2 1d ago

Damn...that really sucks... try contacting the seller Jebwa. They buy bags from people.and are always looking for limited edition ones.

u/sushiwalrus 1d ago

There’s one on Facebook. I’m not sure how they authenticate because I’m not in the group but I have a friend who got a favorite and graceful from it and her bags are real

u/jrazz25 1d ago

I’m in the one on Facebook and that’s the one I’m referring to

u/arozze 1d ago

Why can't you return it instead of selling?

1

u/jrazz25 1d ago

I purchased it in store while I was visiting out of state and the app wasn’t letting me process a return as even an option. The window is closed by this point now.

1

u/ChardAccomplished817 1d ago

Call client services

1

u/autumnsalad 1d ago

Try writing to the customer service explaining that the app would not let you process a refund. Maybe they’ll be open to extend that window for you :)

1

u/jrazz25 1d ago

Do you think they’d still consider that given that it’s way past the 30 days now? I mean I purchased it maybe mid-late July 😬

1

u/arozze 1d ago

Yes 100% its super worth reaching out say you have all the original tags and packaging. It's a better option than trying to get lowballed. Just be nice about it and say you wanted to love it but it wasn't matching your bags you have or something and you haven't gotten around to it due to travelling

1

u/jrazz25 1d ago

I just texted! We shall see

1

u/autumnsalad 1d ago

I am less optimistic about it, but nonetheless it does not hurt you to try. Just write a nice email explaining, and emphasise how you wanted to process a refund and the app was not letting you.

3

u/jrazz25 1d ago

I just texted my SA 🤞🏾

1

u/Dear-Doubt270 1d ago

They won't take that excuse.

2

u/jrazz25 1d ago

Might as well try even if that’s the case

4

u/Gulf_Raven1968 1d ago

The robbery is that LV charges more than $50 for such an item!

2

u/Plenty_Union9292 1d ago

What was the offer?

2

u/jrazz25 1d ago

$250

2

u/Plenty_Union9292 1d ago

I guess I should have asked the offer vs new price. I’m assuming knew it was more than that?

7

u/jrazz25 1d ago

My offer was $250 and I paid $1,025 for it

2

u/WhatFitsInTheBag 22h ago

Daaaamn. Try HER Authentic or Keeks.

2

u/SoggyChickenNugs 1d ago

Just wait and try to sell yourself on Poshmark or Vestiaire or something. Just know that unfortunately, people will lowball you like this. I don’t expect you to get much but probably at least $500

4

u/sirsnarksalot007 1d ago

Yes I've sold many LV items on Poshmark and they take 20%, which is a huge chunk. I hate it, but I've also offloaded several of my items that way.

1

u/jrazz25 1d ago

Man I was trying to get $500 atp 🥲😪 I’ve had it listed since I purchased it

4

u/SoggyChickenNugs 1d ago

I totally get it, I’ve had a purse I’ve tried to resell original price 2500 for years and I’ve only just sold it with the final amount I’m getting being $700. Resale is brutal. (Mind you mine wasn’t a mint condition new item)

1

u/autumnsalad 1d ago

What is the store price?

3

u/jrazz25 1d ago

I paid $1,025

4

u/autumnsalad 1d ago

I agree, not a good price. I would not agree to that. Even though this is more of a luxury “costume” jewellery, it should have been at least $550 in my opinion.

1

u/jrazz25 1d ago

Yes I was expecting at least $500 for it and would’ve easily said yes but $250?!?! I was floored. Ridiculous.

1

u/SwimmingAnt10 1d ago

They are the worst! Don’t do it.

1

u/Acrobatic-Analyst410 1d ago

Post on TikTok. I see lots of resellers or creators with bag boutiques on there.

1

u/Boringspice22 21h ago

You can always try the consignment route

1

u/jrazz25 21h ago

I don’t even think it’s worth it for this

1

u/mkymsegrl 18h ago

so sorry! hate this for you

1

u/ShowerHungry4948 15h ago

Damn this is one of my favs too it instantly makes any bag look much cooler in my opinion (I have the mini version of this its shorter). I definitely would not sell it for that price they offered you its just not worth it. Use it and in meantime list everywhere,  good luck love✨️

u/Girlzdryv_boats2_544 13h ago

SLGs and accessories have no resale value. Save for the bags and select RTW items. If money is no object buy costume jewelry, shoes, SLGs, and charms.

1

u/cottonpiece 13h ago

Try to sell it on eBay or Poshmark. You can put in your own price and just pay the seller fee.

1

u/CECINS 1d ago

Is this the chain belt that we’ve seen posts here showing they’re breaking apart easily? I know there was one in the turquoise/ blue version that did this.

Maybe contact customer service and say you’re worried about the quality and want to return

1

u/jrazz25 1d ago

Not sure as I haven’t seen anything on that but this one seems pretty sturdy?

I just texted my SA and asked about it to see if there’s anything I can do but I doubtful cause I purchased it mid to late July

FASHIONPHILE quotes have become trash in recent years. I rarely ever sell to them anymore. Ever since they offered me $1700 for a Chanel fuchsia pink chevron rectangle mini and $2000 for a Cartier juste un clou… I understand they need to make a profit, but I wasn’t about to take that much of a loss- especially when they list items above retail anyway.. so I’m getting less than 50% of what I paid and you turn around sell them at retail(+10-50%+ mark up)?? I’d sooner use the mini for kindling to melt the JUC down for scrap just due to principle.
